Chapter 3 “The wrong knees”
Activity Polish Songs Sto lat! Sto lat! Teacher notes At the start of the chapter, the soldiers sing songs to pass the time. As the chapter is about knees, we will learn how to sing Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Polish. We will also learn a very traditional Polish birthday song. Everyone in Poland knows this song and it’s a great one to use for class birthdays and a change from the familiar Happy Birthday song!
